6.5. Meditation of Encountering the Guide

The guardian angel or our inner guide is hidden in ourselves and is our direct connection with the inner truth. I can say that almost all esoteric literature is based on the guarantee that something is true because somebody was told so by his inner guide or guardian angel. All this literature can become questionable, even useless, if the reader finds the answer to the question whether the material is just a thesis for which the author seeks confirmation, relying on his ‘inner guide’ or he does not master the material?

Almost all modern therapeutic techniques are based on the fact that the procedure or the method of treatment is a kind of a message of the inner guide. Today, when inquisition and secret oaths no longer exist, it is no longer necessary to hide behind the inner guide. This is a sad finding and means a defeat for many authors of all these marvellous techniques for the therapy and spiritual growth of an individual.

When performing the therapies, therapists must know, through the measurement or feedback, if the rules, methods and procedures of a certain technique are good or not. This will suffice for the work with the elements of this technique.

A problem appears when a therapist starts to develop a certain method and to directly participate in it by engagement of his inner component, when experiencing a certain state of mind. A guarantee that we are on the right way when our ego is still controlling us is by all means the encounter with our inner guide, which is of large support. The inner guide is needed by many up to the level of one’s own spiritual growth when the guide is no longer necessary: when we achieve universal love, we will become a guide ourselves. When, through spiritual growth, we also get rid of the influence of our physical component, the body, we will become thinkers and will no longer return to Earth among people, we will no longer reincarnate.

For meditation, previous preparation is necessary. First, we find a place on Earth, or an imaginary place somewhere in the universe, or we invent a landscape where everything is allowed and where we have everything available, with a single goal to totally enjoy ourselves there and not to be responsible to anybody about anything. This place is our paradise: a place where we can experience all pleasures we desire and were we are the masters of everything.

We are ourselves the guardian angel or inner guide, and it is understandable that it will only appear in a vision when absolutely necessary, when the door is open. It will not appear always when we want it, because at such a moment our consciousness is dominated by the state of the rule of mind, i.e. our ego, and this is a state when our guide is pushed to a corner by the physical component of our character, and it does not function. Consequently, we must relax our body as much as possible, deactivate it, not use our thoughts, but just observe and enjoy.

The guide appears in a very bright light, which is not glaring and does not blind us; in this light we see every detail in the environment under the same illumination, crystal bright, clean and clear.

Unaware, we will call the guide itself to present to us and give us a signal, a symbol, a code, by which we will recognise it whenever we enter the meditation. We will ask it a question to which we cannot or are unable to find an answer ourselves.

PROCEDURE OF THE MEDIATION OF ENCOUNTERING THE GUIDE

We first sit, lie down or take well known asana position. It does not matter what position of the body we choose for the meditation; what is important is that this position does not create problems for us and that we can be in this position for a longer time, that nothing presses us. We make a white merkava on ourselves.

We start to breathe deeply through the nose and follow the flow of air through the nasal openings. When we start to relax, we begin to breathe in light, so that when we inhale we fill up the body with white light, and when we exhale we transmit light to other beings. After relaxation with light, we start to breathe in and out love, and finally we breathe in and out joy.

We imagine that we are going along a path in the field, leading towards water through a fantastic wonderful landscape. On the right side there is a forest, and on the left there is a cornfield, laid down in the form of a spiral near the water. Above the cornfield, there is a hill from which a strong light shines and illuminates the whole valley.

We walk along the path and observe the landscape, the birds, squirrels, ants on the path and the like. We stop and colour our body in blue.

From the sun of infinite potential in the centre of the universe, we pull a ray of blue light to the top of our head. From there, we pull the ray into the right side of the head and colour half of the head in blue, then we go to the left side of the head and colour it, then we go with the ray into the right shoulder, colour the shoulder and the arm, go to the left shoulder, colour the shoulder and the arm, then to the middle of the spine under the ribs and colour the body, then to the right hip and colour the hip and the leg, and to the left hip and colour the hip and the leg. From there, we go between the legs.

Then we send the ray to the centre of the earth, to the sun of infinite potential. We go with the ray around the sun and return to the spine, and from there we spin the ray around each vertebra from the lowest to the highest, i.e. from the coccyx to the head, and continue the way to the sun in the centre of the universe.

We continue along the path towards the water and stop on the shore. The water is clear and we detect whirls near the shore. We take all our clothes off and, completely naked, without anything, walk the stairs into the water down to our neck, and we step with our feet on the whirls. We observe our body from the shore. From the whirls, through our legs and body, we release a flame which burns everything we see black in every part of our body. When we have burnt everything we saw black, we release through our feet fine sand, cleaning the body of the remains of burning. Then we let in the air to blow out everything in the body; the air and everything we release goes through the head into the universe. In the end we also let in the water, which rinses and washes our body, so that it is totally transparent, crystal as a crystal cup.

We step out of the water and go towards the hill from which the strong light is shining. We walk through the spirally laid down cornfield to the centre of the spiral.

Here, we sit down and set the question for our inner guide.

We accept the energy of the spiral and make a silver merkava and a golden merkava on ourselves.

SILVER MERKAVA

We take from the centre of the universe, from the sun of the infinite potential, a ray of silver colour and pull it to a meter or a meter and a half above the head. From there, we release light as water from the shower, and the light goes through our body and makes a cone of silver colour around us. Then we pull from the centre of the earth, from the sun of the infinite potential, a ray of silver colour to underneath our feet. From there, we disperse the light toward and through the body like water in a fountain, creating an upside down cone of the silver colour. In the same manner, we make a hexagram for our complementary partner and in the end the big hexagram: we are contained in the merkava of silver colour.

GOLDEN MERKAVA

In the same way as we did the silver merkava, we do a golden one.

We stand up and go to the entrance at the foot of the hill from which the strong light shines. Here, there is an entrance and stairs that lead to the top of the hill. We walk up the stairs and count from 10 to 0, closely observing the colour of the walls:

10 the wall is - RED we climb up,

9 the wall is - ORANGE we climb up,

8 the wall is - YELLOW we climb up,

7 the wall is - GREEN we climb up,

6 the wall is - BLUE we climb up,

5 the wall is - PURPLE we climb up,

4 the wall is - SILVER we climb up,

3 the wall is - GOLDEN we climb up,

2 the wall is - PINK we climb up,

1 the wall is - LIGHT BLUE and we come to the top of

the hill.

We are in front of an oval door, which is the source of the light of the infinite potential. This is the door of merkava; behind the door, behind the light, there is our imaginary place, our paradise. When we decide to go through this door and through the light into our imaginary place, we will find ourselves in pure spiritual environment, outside any physical body. The blinker will not work there, because it is tied to the physical level, but it will work at the moment the inner guide appears.

We must also be aware, in other words must not forget that we can enter this imaginary place unhindered, i.e. that we can transit through the light without any obstacle, and that we must count backwards from five to one while returning.

We make a decision and step through the door into the light: the light is everywhere around us, and when transiting from the light, we step into our paradise. We walk around the paradise and enjoy ourselves or sleep, we bathe, do anything that crosses our mind. The only thing needed is not to get attached to objects and events around us: we observe them in disinterest and enjoy ourselves.

We stay at this place for five to ten minutes.

In the moment when starting to feel that we can no longer stay in the state of meditation, we must not yet open our eyes. We imagine that we walk back through the light, counting: five, four, three, two, one, we exit through the door and are outside the light. Now we can open our eyes.

We already said that the guide can appear in different forms and that its appearance is accompanied by strong light, which does not glitter. If it appears, we observe it and monitor the form of its body, clothes, jewellery, and all that is unusual or interesting about it. They guide may also give us a message, an identification sign, or wears a ‘key’ by which we will recognise it the next time it appears in our meditation. At the moment the guide appears, we test whether the blinker works.

When the time for meditation expires, we exit the meditation, counting:

FIVE we go toward the light,

FOUR we are in the light,

THREE we walk through the light, which is all around us,

TWO we detect the door and exit, and

ONE we exit from the light through the door.

We go down the stairs, descend from the hill to the valley, go to the water, take our clothes and get dressed.

We open our eyes.

EXAMPLE: I followed the behaviour in a meditative group, which I conducted in the encounter with the guide. While conducting meditations, I always help individuals with transformations, so that it is easier for them to master the situation and to relax as soon as possible. I remove blockades, characteristic fears and traumas.

I observed a student of economics who sat on the couch: she was totally relaxed, with hands lying on the lower part of the couch. Her legs were bent, knees semi apart, and her face showed relaxation without any specific expression. This was a state showing that she understood the instructions and that she was following them fully.

In the end, I asked her to describe us what she experienced when enjoying herself in her imaginary place, her paradise.

It was truly bright. In front of me, a man appeared, slightly smiling, wearing a bright frock; around the neck and the sleeves, the frock had heavily pleated round trimmings, like those of clowns in the circus. He was nice and I was not afraid of him. Besides him, there was a bracelet. It was my bracelet from childhood, which I loved so much.

To my question whether she got the answer to her question from the guide, and to my explanation that nothing was wrong if she did not, because the answer can intuitively appear some day later, she started. Surprised and frightened, she said: What? Did I have to ask him something?

I added that we entered the meditation with a certain purpose, and that while sitting and receiving the energy on the cornfield, we asked the guide our question to which it was supposed to answer.

Oh yes, I already know the answer to the question; I did not ask him, I simply got the answer, although I do not know how.

The nice smiling man in white frock was the guide, and the sign with which he introduced himself was her beloved bracelet. Often, the guide appears in a similar form when we first see it, but it does not always have its identification sign. When such sign is missing, then it must be a false guide, which is the product of our ego that found the way to mislead us not to recognise the real guide.

The meditation of encountering the guide is one of the basic ones and one of the very important aids on the way to the spiritual growth. It enables us to find out from the guide what is the truth and what is the answer to the question to which we do not know the answer ourselves in the initial stage of our spiritual development. Later, we will no longer need the guide.

Naomi Feinberg, the author of hatmara, got used to talking with her guide so much that after each morning meditation and exercises, she uses this mediation to contact her guide and on that day she only does what her guide instructs her. She maintains this contact each single day, even when she has lectures and courses. Consequently, her lectures and courses do not have predictable, established contents, and the attendants sometimes get the feeling that the lady does not know what to lecture on a specific day. But when you examine her activities more closely, you understand how powerful and deep truth they represent.

It is good to always perform the ‘encountering the guide’ after certain activities. In the morning, after we do the activities for maintaining the fitness of the spirit and the body, we perform this mediation as the last exercise. Otherwise, we can also practice this medication successfully in the afternoon or evening. After we meet the guide, we communicate with it by exclusively asking the questions to which we cannot find the answer ourselves.

The final goal of our training is to achieve the level of universal love and to know, by measurement, how to control everything that happens around us. At that level, we will no longer need the guide. Through spiritual growth and permanent practice, a person gets the feeling that he is himself the guide and that the right answers to all possible and impossible questions emerge in him naturally, by themselves. This is true, because human intuition works very powerfully and is even more successful when supported by our intuitive sensor.
